City council hears bridge approach plans details
City officials and Kennebec bridge directors met in the municipal building to review plans. They discussed Vine and Front street grades, widening Vine to 40 feet, a new street from Legard to Depot square, and embankment rather than retaining walls near the federal grounds. Extensions to Commercial street and potential underpass were noted with concerns about traffic flow and pedestrian access. Mayor Cahill, aldermen, and council members attended.
